    Default Wheel cylinder won't bleed right

    Over the weekend I finally installed the rebuilt 8.8 back into my Saleen. Last thing I needed to do before I installed the wheels and lower it on the ground was to bleed the brakes. My 11 year old helped me pump. Pass side bled fine. Drivers side keeps shooting out big air bubbles. There are no leaks that I noticed. I've checked twice. I put some grease around the bleeder threads just in case it was sucking in air but it did not make a difference. I replaced the rear rubber hose before I bled them. Wheel cylinders are about 8 years old and have about 15k on them. Car has been sitting for the past 4 years. Thinking about getting a new wheel cylinder tomorrow to see if it makes a difference. Any other ideas?
